the elections is awaited with an interest

ion foreshadows Bismarcks success. The
German Government has taken most ex-
traordinary steps to secure this in the
way of breaking up meetings, arresting
obnoxious politicians and confiscating
literature. The probability is definite

how that this can be more than pious

REVIEW.

New YORK February 21.-We have had a
market to-day similar to what we usually
experience before a holiday, and there has
been no feature of interest throughout. For
the moment all speculation seems to be dead
but we are inclined to believe that any rev-
val in business would produce better feel
ing and that the public would come in.
All the foreign exchanges seem TO be hesi-
tatipg until after the result of the elections,
which take place to-day in Germany, are de
cded. Should they prove favorable to the
Premier, it will be regarded as a guarantee
of peace and may prove the turning point Of
speculation.
The market ruled dull late in the day and
closed irregular. Money, % cents.

Logan to the resolution OF coincidence passed by
that body on the death of her husband was read,
and placed upon the record. The committee
which reported the holding of convention for the
consolidation of the Southeast Indiana and the
Indiana conferences was generally discussed,
the opinion prevailing that the consolidation
would prove beneficial to the church interests.
Tennyson's new poem, "Locksey Hall Sixty
Years After" was the subject of paper, treated
in scholarly way. by Rev. Mr.. Hendrickson ut
the meeting of the Presbyterian ministers yes
terday morning The paper was greatly appre-
ciated by the ministers. and the discussion
which followed ELECTED their admiration for the
work. The paper took the ground that the world
growing better all the time. and
that Christianity was gaining more
thorough hold than ever before His ideas
were good and his logical ded actions true. Rev.
MIR. Mitchell, the new secretary, took charge of
the books and announced his intention of writ
ing the reports OF the meetings as fully as neo-
essary for the general public.
